San Francisco’s biggest music festival returned to Golden Gate Park for its 17th edition from August 8-10. The festival kicked off with a bang on Friday, headlined by pop/rap superstar Doja Cat. Doja had a tough act to follow after recent Grammy winner for Best Rap Album, Doechii, provided one of the standout sets of the weekend with her electric performance that had the Lands End stage crowd going absolutely bonkers. Another highlight was Mannequin Pussy, who provided the kind of ferocious punk rock energy you’re looking for in an afternoon to set the tone for the rest of the night.
Check out photos from day 1, which also include shots of bass virtuoso Thundercat, Irish indie rockers NewDad, Turkish-born pop singer Injii, NYC electronic band Fcukers, singer/songwriter Alexandra Savior, and Ethiopian-Sudanese singer Alemeda.
